When he would be bringing his money to them for the ads. The station employees that I spoke with hated that he was taking advantage of the political ad rules to show aborted fetuses to the tv audience, even during the day when children might see the ads.

The employees would tell me when he was scheduled to be there. I would show up in the parking lot at the tv stations and show him pictures of my 4yr old daughter who saw the ad while playing in the tv room. I pleaded for him to stop showing the ads...I yelled at him for hurting my child...I'm a little surprised that he didn't call the cops or security.

I sought out a local news broadcaster to ask him to do a piece on the harm that these ads do. He said he didn't want to get involved cause the ads were legal.

I called the FEC to get an explanation as to why this slimball was allowed to show this shit. I complained loudly and they were sympathetic but couldn't do anything to help.
